For the Red Carpet Evening Gown, if you use a curvier model or increase the Shrink X and Shrink Y settings (preferably with an animated drape), you can get a tighter fit up to the flare. Attached is an image of the gown on a fully figure. I increased the flare by pushing the internal pressure up to 10.00 for one drape and then decreased the pressure back to 5.00 for another to soften the drape a bit.

These fabric setting presets are a good start.You can choose a stretchier type of fabric (each preset has the fabric name it’s meant to emulate), for instance, to fit a slightly larger figure. Try playing with each preset and observe how it drapes and take note of what the settings are if you like a particular effect.

And these are the reasons why I won’t touch dynamic clothing. Way too many hoops to go through just to make them work.

Not really. A couple of items require animated drape, but they’re worth the extra effort. And, yes, if you want to try to make them do what they weren’t really designed to do, they also require a bit of extra tweaking. On the whole, though, they aren’t particularly difficult to use so long as you’re using them on the figure they were designed for. I do extra work because I like to push what I can do with them and use non-standard figures/characters.

I thought it was all a bit of a faff at first, but now I hardly use non-dynamic clothes at all; dynamics are generally far cheaper for the same quality (or free) and look better. I found animated drapes slow and difficult and often gave the wrong results (such as ‘popping out” of low cut clothes). I now go into the item rig in Scene and rotate each rigged part to sort-of fit before draping and it seems to work really well, even in more extreme poses.

With the ‘cloth’ settings and shaders like Fabricator, one shirt becomes 100…

I’ve always done that in preference to running an animated drape. It does have limits, though, e.g. when putting a pretty dress on a werewolf. One method or the other usually works well enough, with enough tweaking.

I like Bryce, DazStudio, Poser and Vue ... in alphabetical order. And I would probably like Carrara too, if I could find the time to become acquainted with it. Peace?

Just passing-through and wanted to add my ‘Thanks’ for updating these outfits, and supporting (in my case) hobbyists! Vendor support might be a short-term cost, but in the end, it speaks volumes to your customers….
